Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

By the Killer Lake.

Soi pulled Vera to one side, under a willow tree some distance from the group of demon hunter masters.

The chief looked at the absent-minded Vera, intentionally diverting her attention, and said:

"Vera, after you come back this time, are you going out again?"

"No, I have almost checked everything I need to check, and I will go after winter to check the rest."

The sorceress's eyes were still intentionally or unintentionally floating on the Killer Lake.

Soi sighed and comforted:

"Don't worry, Wei."

"We have all seen the effect of that potion, and there will be no problem at the Killer Lake."

After a pause, seeing that Vera's expression did not improve, the chief continued:

"The old spearhead is probably still sleeping at this time, and the trolls will only throw some stones to scare the apprentices."

"Don't worry, Vera, Alin will be fine." Soi repeated again.

The chief of the Wolf School did not lie, although the mortality rate of the high mountain trial is high.

But this trial is not for the apprentices to die.

This time of year is the lowest temperature in Kaer Morhen.

The activity of the water ghosts decreases.

The old spearhead also enters a state similar to hibernation, sleeping for many days.

As long as the apprentices in the trial can stay calm and use the knowledge and skills they have learned, they will definitely pass.

Of course, if they are not too unlucky.

However, most apprentices cannot calm down when they are doing the high mountain trial.

At least in the cold Killer Lake, it is difficult to calm down when facing the water ghosts whose number is difficult to see clearly.

But this does not exist in the apprentices of Ailin.

Fear comes from the unknown. You know where the danger is, will you still panic?

After passing the Killer Lake section and adapting to the atmosphere of danger, the survival rate will be greatly improved.

After all.

It is actually not easy to wake up the sleeping old spearhead.

As for the trolls.

At least so far, no apprentice has died in the hands of those honest monsters.

The sorceress looked much better after hearing Soi's explanation.

She bowed her head and pondered for a moment, then sighed:

"Your situation is not optimistic."

The Wolf School's chief heard this and subconsciously glanced at the witcher masters not far away.

Those witchers, who were already quite old, focused their attention on the chief and Vera.

When they saw the chief's eyes sweeping over, they immediately looked around as if they had done something wrong.

"Snap"

A snap of the fingers.

A translucent shield surrounded the chief and the sorceress.

Soi also sighed, looked at the sorceress again, and asked:

"How pessimistic is it?"

The sorceress did not speak, but shook her head seriously, then walked to the willow tree at the edge of the shield, turned her back to Soi, and said:

"The king is indeed going to attack you."

"And it's not just you, the Cat School is also one of his targets."

"Why?" Even though he had expected it, the witcher couldn't help but raise his voice, "The Cat School is fine, our Wolf School has always been neutral and will never intervene..."

"Soi!"

Vera interrupted the chief's questioning.

Yes, the sorceress thought it was a questioning, of course it was not directed at her.

"Is it possible that it is precisely because you have always been neutral that the Big Eater wants to attack you."

The sorceress paused, then said:

"Besides, there are not many monsters anymore, right?"

The witcher was silent.

He may not really understand politics, but he has lived for hundreds of years, how could he not understand this truth.

With not many monsters, there is naturally no need for witchers.

"So, the contest between the apprentices of the Wolf School and the Cat School is a trap?"

"It is likely." Vera nodded, "but you still have to send someone."

"Why?" the demon hunter asked in confusion.

"If you don't go, the Big Glutton can just send troops to attack Kaer Morhen on the grounds of 'disrespect'."

The demon hunter was silent again.

After a long time, he asked earnestly: "Vera, what should I do?"

Vera heard this and asked back: "Are you willing to lead the Wolf School to submit to the Big Glutton?"

The chief of the Wolf School shook his head naturally and said:

"The Wolf School adheres to neutrality. Without this creed, there will be no Kaer Morhen."

"And..."

The sorceress saw that Soi was a little hesitant and asked: "And what?"

"A few days ago, the Big Glutton sent an envoy to ask about the elves..."

Before he finished speaking, Soi suddenly seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, Aylin came to me because of that envoy a few days ago."

Hearing "Aylin", Vera retracted her gaze.

She looked at Soi with a focused expression.

"Alin said that there was something wrong with that wizard, and the entire Ban Ade School of Wizards might be hostile to Kaer Morhen."

"Alin also said that he dreamed that the wizards brought farmers and monsters to destroy the Ancient Sea Fortress and killed all the witchers of the Wolf School."

Vitala was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then asked carefully about the process of the messenger's arrival, and sighed.

"Soi!"

"The problem has become more serious."

The head of the Wolf School felt depressed after hearing this.

The situation is already so serious, how can it be worse?

"I asked a lot of people when I left this time."

"So?" Soi asked in a deep voice.

"Among them is a wizard... and he is the principal of Ban Ade Academy..."

Vera sighed, glanced at the chief's ugly expression, and then said:

"Soi, the 'big stomach' should have known by now..."

"'We' are suspecting him."

"Huh"

After hearing the prompt sound of the Demon Hunter's Notes.

The demon hunter apprentice breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed his sword.

"I didn't expect the system prompt when the crusade is completed to have such a big effect." Ailin thought.

Then.

He looked at the first line of the system prompt, the level of the little fog monster.

He scanned down the evaluation that just passed and the reward that was better than nothing, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The level is still too high."

But there is no way, you can't risk your life just to get more rewards and evaluations for killing monsters.

The demon hunter apprentice comforted himself and continued to look down.

Huh?

Every time he activated a task, didn't the Demon Hunter's Notes just give it to him, and he couldn't refuse it?

Why did he ask him if he accepted it this time?

Was it because of the change in the evaluation? After becoming a new demon hunter, he finally had autonomy?

Ailin shook his head. Even though he had it for a month, he had to admit that he still knew nothing about the Demon Hunter's Notes.

Of course, he had to accept the task.

Then the demon hunter apprentice moved the panel to the inventory.

He planned to leave after opening the treasure chest.

Although I am sure of passing the mountain trial, who would complain about having too many treasures and a high success rate in passing the trial?
